"You bought an island?!"

Ouyang Qing's voice abruptly rose in pitch and became ear-piercing. It was a sign of her extreme shock.

Although he heard Ye Lingchen say that he wanted to buy an island, she heard it and genuinely felt that it was an unrealistic idea. However, when the time did come and he did buy an island, the sole emotion she felt was shock and more shock.

How long had it been? He was serious when he said he wanted to buy an island?!

She knew a bit about how difficult it was to buy an island. Most people who had money were not eligible to buy an island, not to mention the large sum of money needed to buy it. Perhaps only those within the list of top ten richest people could afford it. Was Ye Lingchen really capable of buying it?

"Yeah, I bought an island. Is it that strange?" Ye Lingchen could not help but smile and pretended to speak in a calm tone.

He wanted to show off a little because he would soon be the owner of an island after all. It was far beyond buying a house, a car, or a villa and was not even on the same level.

Was it strange? What do you think?

"No. But it's really an island? How much did you buy? How big is it?" Ouyang Qing's voice trembled a little and she asked in a daze.

"Eight-point-two square kilometers. More than two billion."

"GASP!" Ouyang Qing inhaled sharply. Her mind was filled with only those two numbers.

It was not because the price was too expensive, but because it was too cheap! Dirt cheap!

"Just over two billion for eight-point-two square kilometers?!" Ouyang Qing's voice was a little nervous. "You didn't meet a scammer, did you?"

"Am I someone that will easily be fooled? Okay, no more nonsense. Transfer the money to me!" Ye Lingchen gave the order. "Also, make some preparations. Find a day for us to go to the island and have a look at how to design and build the headquarters. "

Ouyang Qing still had yet to recover from the shock. Though her mentality could be considered rather good, she was still thundered by the news. It was too unreasonable and she could not help from being shocked.

After thinking of Ye Lingchen's multifarious abilities, she felt that his words were likely the truth and did not dare to hold him up for too long. The transfer of money to Ye Lingchen's account immediately commenced.

It was lucky for him if he could really purchase an island.

Next, Ye Lingchen called Zhang Yunxi and Xiao Feifei. After learning that Ye Lingchen had bought an island, they reacted much more excitedly than Ouyang Qing and nearly screamed before losing themselves in the excitement.

It was too shocking!

If a person's ultimate dream was to buy a big house and live in a villa, then there was another dream that one could never dream of, that was to own an island!

However, Ye Lingchen had realized that dream.

Soon, the two women transferred the money over without saying a word.

Things were so much easier with money. After all, Ye Lingchen was someone with status and position, so the process would not be too complicated. All he had to do was go through some special procedures. After paying the money and dealing with the formalities, the island would bear his name.

"F*ck, how are you so rich?" Lin Ao was dumbfounded. Although he guessed that Ye Lingchen was wealthy, he never expected Ye Lingchen to be so filthy rich.

The sum was more than two billion, not a measly 20 yuan.

The others in Warrior's Department stared right at him and were nearly glaring their eyes out.

Everyone would be extremely envious of a rich person.

Having accepted the title of the island as well as his Upper-Class Sentinel Medal, he could be considered to return home with his hands full. Ye Lingchen was very much satisfied with that.

"By the way, Sentinel Ye, are you confident about filming our military TV series?" Qin Baichuan asked uneasily in a serious tone.

"Little Friend Ye, this matter is very important. It's related to people's morale. There's no room for sloppiness," Lin Tianxiong chimed in too. "In recent years, there has been a lot of military TV series and movies, but they've become the subject of criticism by many people. Their public reputation isn't very good and it's a bad influence with all those young teen idols popping up everywhere."

"Don't worry, I guarantee it'll be popular!" Ye Lingchen smiled. It was nothing too difficult for him. "What do you hope the TV series can achieve in terms of its ratings?"

Qin Baichuan was taken aback for a moment, but he then smiled, "You're that confident you can break through two percent?"

Ye Lingchen shook his head.

Then stretched out three fingers. "Three!"

"I guarantee it can break through three percent!"

"Three?"

Qin Baichuan was stunned, as was Lin Tianxiong and everyone else.

He made such a big guarantee that if everyone was unaware of Ye Lingchen's character, they would certainly think that he was arrogant.

Lin Ao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Brother Ye was a good person, but his problem was that he was always very pretentious.

It was a fact that the peak ratings for iPartment had just only broken through to 3%!

The audience for a military genre was much smaller than that of iPartment. After all, young people, especially women, rarely watched television series about the military, thus making it very difficult.

"Who knows, I might even get it to four percent." Ye Lingchen shrugged.

Everyone was a little speechless and Qin Baichuan could not help but say, "If you're able to push the ratings through to three and get a good reputation, I can recommend someone to help you with infrastructure on the island."

Ye Lingchen refocused his gaze.

He was adept at design, but it was unrealistic to let him build his own house. He could not possibly be moving bricks, right? He did not have the time to do such menial things.

Qin Baichuan smiled. "Haha, the architect's surname is Hao."

"Grandmaster Hao!"

Ye Lingchen's eyes lit up. Since he had studied architecture before, it was only natural that he would recognize Grandmaster Hao's name.

China's infrastructure was already world-famous to begin with, as they could build several bridges in a year compared to other countries that required a few years to build just one bridge. In addition, large infrastructures such as houses, subways, and the like, fall far behind other countries.

Grandmaster Hao was none other than China's master of infrastructure. There were no less than 10 bridges designed by him alone!

Even landmark bridges such as Tongjing Bridge and Tongjiang Bridge, as well as Capital's Pants Building and Hong Kong's International Finance Centre, were all designed by him!

However, rumor had it that he had retired from the industry and was prepared to enjoy his old age.

Perhaps the only person who could get him to come out of retirement was someone like Qin Baichuan.

"Is this for real?" Ye Lingchen could not help but ask.

'If I'm going to do this, I might as well make it the best.' Those were Ye Lingchen's thoughts.

He did not want to be sloppy when constructing the island's infrastructure, since an island was different from a building or a house. A good architect was required!

"Hehe, would I still lie to you?"

"Okay!" Ye Lingchen's mouth curled slightly. "I'll accept this task!"

Later, he continued, "As for the candidates for this television series, I'd like to choose them from the Warrior's Department so it'll be more in line with the feeling of a battlefield. The fight scenes will be more exciting too."

"Sure, whoever that wants to join can take the initiative to sign up." Qin Baichuan nodded.

However, the warriors were silent.

They were slightly more averse to being celebrities because they felt like they would look like monkeys to the public. Moreover, they were born with a dislike for celebrities, because celebrities struck them as being too fake and not manly enough.

"Tch. I'm not going to go acting. It's too crass." Lin Ao pursed his lips.

"I'm not going either. Battling with the troops and killing enemies is fine with me, but if you ask me to act, I really can't do it."

"Showing our faces in public? Whatever next?"

Ye Lingchen looked at them and smiled. "As long as you participate in the filming, you'll be given a salary that's in line with that of a C-list star. If you become the lead actor, you'll be paid according to A-list superstars."

Many warriors pursed their lips. "What is all this A-list C-list stuff? Don't even think about using money to sway us. We're not that kind of people!"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that the salary of a C-list star for one episode is a hundred-thousand and it's eight-hundred-thousand for an A-list superstar," Ye Lingchen continued.

"Sign me up!"

"To tell you the truth, it's my dream to be a star since I was a kid."

"It doesn't matter whether there's money involved or not, the point is, I like acting."
